6th August

Went for 45 minute brisk walk. In the chamber from 1.30  to  3.45 pm. Visited RML hospital along with Venita. Venita consulted Diabetes specialist.
Memories : Sometime you desire to be  anonymous so that you can do things your way without public gaze. The public gaze disturbs you and very often causes stress. 'In colloquial use, anonymity typically refers to the state of an individual's personal identity, or personally identifiable information, being publicly unknown.' (Wikipedia) 
As a matter of routine I would go to Starbucks coffee joint in Southfields, London SW, with a newspaper at the end of my daily morning walk and spend an hour sipping coffee and reading newspaper. I could continue it for about 10 days. I became a familiar face to the boys and girls (staff)  of the restaurant  They started giving extra attention,care and would like to pick up a conversation mainly on Wimbledon tennis matches. For example, one day a girl said ' Sir, pray for the victory of Liscinski (who lost in finals ), she is from my country.'  I was not quite comfortable with that . I thought that i should give a break and go there after few days. I started visiting a nearby Italian restaurant. The story of Starbucks was repeated there too. The same thing happened in the pubs of Wimbledon club, village, restaurants of Central court market. I felt that anonymity is necessary in life. It distresses and helps you to tune with yourself . It is essential for happiness. Whenever Abhishree and Amolikaa told me to leave them, i felt that they wanted to be with themselves, a pre-requisite for development of a good happiness quotient. I always left them.
Retired to sleep at 10 pm
